Micah

 1 But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the ^amountain of the house of the Lord shall be ^bestablished in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.

 2 And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the ^amountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will ^bwalk in his paths: for the ^claw shall go forth of ^dZion, and the word of the Lord from ^eJerusalem.

 3 ¶And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their ^aswords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn ^bwar any more.

 4 But they shall sit every man under his ^avine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken it.

 5 For all people will walk every one in the ^aname of his god, and we will walk in the ^bname of the Lord our God for ever and ever.

 6 In that day, saith the Lord, will I assemble her that ^ahalteth, and I will ^bgather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted;

 7 And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the Lord shall ^areign over them in mount ^bZion from henceforth, even for ever.

 8 ¶And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.

 9 Now why dost thou cry out aloud? is there no king in thee? is thy counsellor perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail.

 10 Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in ^atravail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to ^bBabylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the Lord shall redeem thee from the hand of thine ^cenemies.

 11 ¶Now also many nations are ^agathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.

 12 But they know not the thoughts of the Lord, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor.

 13 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt ^abeat in pieces many people: and I will ^bconsecrate their gain unto the Lord, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.
